Lightning sparked a fire in the Squawback area some 10 miles northeast of Sisters on Sunday night.

Windy conditions on the Summit Springs Complex stirred the fires and kept firefighters busy trying to hold containment lines.

The fire complex is considered 30 percent contained, according to the incident management team battling the series of blazes sparked by lightning last Sunday.

Firefighters worked throughout the day Thursday to strengthen containment lines established by night crews. A few spot fires broke loose on the Green Ridge and Summit Springs Fires but crews were able to quickly reestablish the lines.

Helicopters continued to provide critically important support for firefighters, though air tankers were grounded by the high winds. The eastern flank of the Summit Springs Fire, which has seen acreage growth due to the high winds of the last few days, was held in check this yesterday.
